Ken Jeong: First Date

Not funny at all. the whole special is him bragging about his fame and money and constantly reminding you that he is a doctor too.

I love Ken Jeong. I love his movies. But I just couldn't put my finger on what was a joke and what was just a.... kind of "funny" story? I would've really liked to take a dive into Ken's life a little bit more, but most of the content was rehashing characters and stories that we already know. 4 to 5 Mr. Chow impressions, stories about the Hangover, and nothing but name drops and shoutouts to more successful comedians. This could've been great - and I really wanted it to be - but the jokes just fell flat. Ken should've spent more time prepping these jokes and perfecting them instead of just going for the low hanging fruit; ie: anti-Trump jokes, Asian accents, bringing back characters from movies that happened over 10 years ago. Love Ken. Hated this special.

You Complete Me, Ho was mildly funny at best. It was basically him name dropping a much of celebrities that he knows and saying about two funny things in between. Mediocre at best. Would have appreciated more comedy and less name dropping.

He's no Bill Burr or Chappelle, but he's got Ho's! Fun time, relax critics.

Overall I felt that this standup performance was good. I had some laughs and I enjoyed learning more about Ken Jeong who has always been this wild and crazy character in my head. This man has always fascinated me because he was once a doctor and gave it all up to be an actor. He does talk quite a bit about that switch which was extremely funny and interesting to learn about.

To me this special was the most wholesome in the fact that he contantly talked to the audience as if they were important parts to his act and pointed out his wife and director constantly. The show was about Mr. Jeong and how rich and famous he is but it was also about how he got to where he is and how important all of the people in his life are.

It wasn't the funniest standup I've seen but if you're a fan of Ken's and the work he's done in Hollywood then I think you would enjoy this.

I also think you would enjoy this special if you last name is Ho.
